Are you a high school student interested in Architecture, Construction, or Engineering? Then maybe the ACE Program is for you. ACE meets on Tuesday afternoons from 3-5pm here at SMMHS. There are many scholarship opportunities available and this is a great leadership opportunity. During the second week of ACE, the students were challenged to construct a self-standing tower with 12 jelly beans and 12 toothpicks. Each team discussed how to build the tower for 10 minutes and then had 5 minutes to complete the construction. The goal of the project was to develop teamwork. The tallest tower was 17.25 inches high. The best SM team built their tower 13 inches high, coming in second place for Talbot County.
